Former ballplayer says no icebergs = no shipwreck

When Jose Canseco last
month offered his sincere concern over the world’s energy
consumption and various global warming issues that have resulted, we at
CityBeat were quick to report such thoughtful commentary. In a story
titled “Ranking Jose Canseco’s Global Warming Tweets” we
provided some background on the former Major League Baseball
player/steroid user/author and recapped his series of
hilarious tweets.
Most of us believed
that our immense enjoyment of Canseco’s socio-political commentary
would be short-lived — after following him on Twitter for a few
days we were offered only recaps of him winning long drive
competitions and pleading with Major League clubs to sign
him even though he’s 47.
Then on Sunday
something awesome happened. Apparently inspired by the recent release of
Titanic 3D, Canseco in fewer than 144 characters again blew everyone’s
minds: “Titanic 100 years wOw. Global warming couldve saved
titanic. Sad to say.”
Canseco was prompted by skeptics to elaborate: “Because we don't recycle and consume
like crazy icicles are non existent. Titanic wouldve still existed
today," he wrote.
He then showed frustration with the people who didn’t understand the irony he was describing: “You
clowns it's very simple. With global warning the weather is hotter so
the icebergs would be melted and titanic saved.”
Skeptics satisfied,
Canseco went back to blasting our wasteful lifestyles: “100 years
ago people actually cared about planet and respected nature. Now we
can care less and consume energy like it's free.”
And then, for good
measure, he offered a couple slices of personality that prove follow Jose Canseco on Twitter will continue to be a worthwhile endeavor, political activism or not: “Titanic
reminds me of the days I had two yachts in Miami but no icicles" and “I had a bat I named Titanic .It was biggest rawlings ever made
and beautiful and unbreakable dont know where Titanic is now.”
It’s good to know
that influential people like Jose Canseco are taking on such causes,
even after learning that Al Gore is not dead. Hug 4 u, Jose.
